I'm pregnant and ia a terrible predicament. . Heward J. ' - , She can dU rare him and marry me. We .love each other, Mita O. - For hii lUter't . take,; my husband taid that her ton Howard could stay in our home until he got settled In. New. York. Howard is 19 and. came' here from Canada ;. four, months ago. , ' Shortly after his arrival. my huiband was taken to the hotpital for a heart condition. I realize', now: that Howard should have moved out or re- . turned home. Whatever ltd us madness, the fact, is that; I 1 Lnd myself pregnant. And my , husband is returning from (us . ' convalescence in a week. -, Should I throw myself on , Lis mercy, or try to fool him? .- a - a ' v- .; Howard 'J. - As soon as my uncle can stand the shock; I want Nlta to confess that she ;. ad I love each other. I'm jnrry for Uncle Clem; He's I en wonderful to me and my i roily. But he's 16 years older fc.an Nlta, and he knows she's been unhappy. If not for hii illness, she'd have asked for a - divorce'. r- 5 v.-i;Y' v. .j ' Once she's free, Nlta and I icar move out West as husband and wife and give the baby a . normal home;'. 1 know this puts- us ; both in a terrible ( J Hit I certainly didn't intend j rtlng my uncle this way,; , i What's the most human way , ( i handle this mess?

It's too late, for sermons. nd the running brooks that I to we torrent of calamity in too deep and too numer- us for tracing, We must pro- l ed irom the present sad : 1 ellties, with a few suggee- , l ns which are based upon 1 ita's relations with her hus J and. '.'v'V,.- ii-r-:,'-:'jr' Certainly .confession would I the best bet in the long in, but the timing and the t mdllng of this will require ; : t -e aid of the family doctor 14 possibly a clergyman or tidal worker.' Perhaps Nlta's Dutband wlllv find It in bis teart to .forgive, in recognl- - tion, of. human frailty against superhuman temptation, Then, . adopting the baby as a mem ber of hi childless family, he an clothe the future with a semblance .of stability. - It the aggrieved husband re . fuses to condone, other possl- bUltles are for him to divorce kit wife so that she may mar , ry .Howard for the baby's take. Or Nlta, in a sober re-' consideration of Howard vs. : Husband, might offer to re- Bounce tha former and, in a banishment of the fleah-and- blood reminder, give, up the .... child -for adoption. At any . rate, Howard is "persana non . - grata": around the ' G. home, and had best leave fast. Nlta's Me of "tooling" her husband about the child would never give ner a moment s peace. ,', Mr. Q. may not fool easily, ; and betides, there's Howard . who knows differently.;; ... ror the sake of the man with the weak heart, and the baby with weak parents, we - bop this lapse can be resolv ed constructively. But . Nlta must know that it will take a ' lifetime of "proving" for any man - her husband, Howard, or any. subsequent lover -ever to trust her again; . ' USI A Official KIIM In loos Plan Crash .
